In a few minutes both the guilty partners in the death of Alboin had breathed their last. When Longinus was, at a later moment, summoned into the room, it was to find his late guests both dead upon the floor. The poison had faithfully done its work. Thus ended a historic tragedy than which the stage possesses few of more striking dramatic interest and opportunities for histrionic effect.
It is, I conceive, on this account, that the religion of the Christians has spread so rapidly. It meets our nature. It supplies authority. It professes to bring annunciations from Heaven of man's immortality. 'It is for that reason, replied Longinus, 'I cannot esteem it. The very term revelation offends.
The right application of reason effects all, it seems to me, that what is called revelation can. It perfectly satisfies the philosopher, and as for common minds, instinct is an equally sufficient guide and light. 'I cannot but judge you, Longinus, said Julia, 'wanting in a true fellow-feeling for your kind, notwithstanding all you have said concerning the nature and powers of man.
In this I was joined by Longinus, who, with a taste and a power which I have seen in no other, descanted upon the more remarkable of the pictures and statues, not in the manner of a lecturer, but with a fine perception and observance of that nice line which separates the learned philosopher from the polite man of the world. He was both at once.
He seemed to have lost the possession of his reason. The jailer, followed by a guard, now came up to Longinus, and informed him that the hour appointed for his execution had arrived. Longinus replied, 'that he was ready to go with him, but must first, when his chains were taken off, be permitted to address himself to the gods.
To mention only a few: Salvidienus Orfitus was accused of letting out three taverns attached to his house in the Forum to some cities for the use of their deputies at Rome. The charge against Cassius Longinus, a lawyer who had lost his sight, was, that he kept amongst the busts of his ancestors that of Caius Cassius, who was concerned in the death of Julius Caesar.
"Save a trifle of stiffness, the speech might have served Longinus." With her last word, the Princess stepped aside, leaving Mahommed and Constantine front to front. Had the Sheik been observant of the monarch's dues, he would have promptly prostrated himself; but the moment for the salutation passed, and he remained standing, answering the look he received calmly as it was given.
At half-past nine I am still hunting for Longinus, when Mr. Trevanion comes in with a bundle of letters. Answers to half the said letters fall to my share. Directions verbal, in a species of short-hand talk. While I write, Mr.
If I was you, quoth Yorick, I would drink more water, Eugenius And, if I was you, Yorick, replied Eugenius, so would I. Which shews they had both read Longinus For my own part, I am resolved never to read any book but my own, as long as I live.
All the little green Inch-Worms and the energetic, thin Road-Worms called him Glummie for short, although his whole name was Longinus Rotundus Caterpillar. That's a very long, hard name, and they couldn't be bothered with a name like that for such a sulky fellow as he.
